My heart goes out to his family. I sincerely hope he is ok.

That said, these correspondents are purposely putting themselves and their would-be rescuers at risk for the sole purpose of getting a career-building headline. They refuse to tell the truth in words or photos. The true stories, as well as the implications of the gang rape in Egypt and other abductions and attacks on the press, are hidden from us so as not to interrupt the pro-jihadist, leftist template. If and when he returns we can expect the same bias.

Boy, when are these people going to learn?

Note to “journalists”: Your profession does NOT give you any magical immunity on the battlefield, especially where the combatants involve dictators, strongmen, and terrorists. Those types are unlikely to give a rat’s you-know-what about the Geneva Convention or any other agreement that spells out some sort of protection for your kind.

What’s important to remember is this: It’s theoretical protection, but it won’t stop them from killing you if they feel like it.

If they did grab him why haven’t the terrorists claimed credit yet along with their ransom demands? Maybe they killed him during the operation & they don’t know what to do w/ the corpse. It isn’t worth much if he is dead.

This is really interesting, in fact, all of the youtube videos by “Syrian Girl” are worth watching. Turns out, we may have been deceived by past & present administrations about Assad. (Gov’t lied – shocking I know!)
